If you looked at the events of the MKM Series 2017—and if you didn't, you really should check them out!—you may have noticed our new and improved prize payout scheme. This will be the same for each main event at each of the five stops of the MKM Series in 2017 and scales with attendance. (Except that, for Legacy and Modern, prizes for a 100-player tournament are guaranteed even when that threshold isn't reached.) What do you think? We do want your feedback … and we want you to tell all of your friends! After all, larger tournaments means more prizes!

Rodrigo Togores MoliIts just sad that you cant play modern, vintage and Legacy at the same event (modern and vintage are at the same day). That was the main reason most of the Madrid people didnt went to the last years events >.<

Tomáš VaněkDoesnt look bad, nice to see some scaling: 151-200 might use some adjustments since i would say the difference between 2nd and 1st is unbalanced and the second have same reward as 101-150 (may be tipo, because something like 500 would fit it better).
Also at 501+ you have 3 last "scales" same at 35€ rewards so just saing you can make it 33-64 and not 3 lines with same payout.
Also it would hurt to see some sligtly more busted prices at higher levels since it there is definitly some space for it and it look much better to present booster prices fro 500+ turnament

Players from all over Europe gathered in Prague on the weekend of November 25–27 for the fifth and final stop of the MKM Series 2016. Fun was had, trades were made, prizes were won, and a lot of Magic was played. Let's take a look back at all the Magical things that happened at the Prague stop of the MKM Series 2016! We continue our series with Modern.

DECK OF THE TOURNAMENT: Affinity didn't play a large role in the metagame, amounting to just about three percent of the field. It did however play a large role in the tournament, being the only deck archetype to put two players into the Top 8, including eventual champion Štěpán Dudešek. Of course Affinity had always been famous for its tendency to shine exactly when its share of the metagame and the amount of sideboard hate was lowest.

MATCH OF THE TOURNAMENT: Philipp Schmidt and his Elves ultimately lost the final to Štěpán Dudešek's Affinity, in a match that was decided by powerful sideboard cards like Kataki, War's Wage on one side and Grafdigger's Cage plus Ghirapur Aether Grid on the other. But before that, Schmidt had succesfully defeated Robert Rettenbacher's robots in the semifinals, which might well be considered the better match and featured one nailbiter of a moment: In the first game, Rettenbacher found himself outpowered on the board and only saw one last chance. He attacked with all of his creatures including Arcbound Ravager and Inkmoth Nexus, and declared, "I'm going for the infect kill." Schmidt let him, until the point was reached when Rettenbacher had fed most of his permanents to Arcbound Ravager and now sacrificed the Ravager itself to transfer its counters to Inkmoth Nexus. Schmidt responded with Chord of Calling into Spellskite and redirected the Ravager's ability to steal the game in dramatic fashion.

NOTABLE FINISHES: Marius Hausmann had long been a household name in the Legacy community with Top 8 finishes at several major European tournaments. In Prague, he made his second Top 8 at the MKM Series … in Modern. His weapon of choice was Skred Red, a deck much scoffed at for its perceived lack of power compared to other strategies in the format. Admittedly, the deck did look quite weak in the quarterfinals, yet Hausmann had been undefeated throughout all nine rounds of Swiss. Quipped Hausmann, "I have no clue about good Modern decks."
